CRAIG MONDAY
Originally from Luttrell, Tennessee, Craig Monday's journey into songwriting started when he and some buddies formed a rock band and wound up needing some original songs for a show... Something they didn't have at the time. Craig decided to give it a go, wrote a song, and well, the rest is history. He started writing for country, and after moving to Nashville in 1996, he won NSAI's World's Largest Open Mic, which he said was one of the first things to boost his confidence that he could pursue songwriting. Since then, he has had cuts with Kenny Chesney, Randy Houser, Vince Gill, Diamond Rio, Amy Grant, The Blind Boys of Alabama and Jamey Johnson.
